If you have a black car I suggest this kit from turtle wax, Its like 20$ this stuff is THE HEAT!! Ima tell you though...its like a 4 step process and it sucks doing it but it is well worth it after, I clay bar the WHOLE car and did this a couple weeks ago and I was dead beat at the end of the day but it was worth it...car looks like a deep deep shiny black standing like 10 ft away...

Enjoy going up driveways while you still can! Once you go on coils you'll never drive the same again. Car looks great BTW.

damn, i was going to detail my car today but i couldnt find that thread i used for reference 2 years ago. I searched all over but no luck.

I know it goes like this

1. wash
2. claybar
3. wash once more to remove loose dirt
4. ? buff it with some compound i forgot
5. then polish
6. wax

i had it printed out but since we moved i think i threw the instructions away i will search tonight and get on this detail tomorrow.
